What 3 Things would you like to witness in your lifetime?
Zipper5 replied to jeza's topic in OFFTOPIC
A cure for cancer The proper upholding and enforcement of human rights Peace in the Middle East Yes. I pretty much hope for the 3 least likely events to happen in my lifetime. :p -
The August 2011 issue of PC Gamer US states: The context is new and bleak: in the near future, the US and its allies are underdogs in World War III against a powerful, Iran-led military that has occupied Europe and Northern Africa. The nuclear gloves have come off, but there's still a world left to fight over with our new fictional conventional warfare toys - in particular, a large Mediterranean island called Limnos.

Rein: PC gaming has "shot by" consoles
Zipper5 replied to pendragonuk's topic in OFFTOPIC - Games & Gaming
Crysis is not the best example of PC gaming. In my opinion, either BIS' games, the STALKER series or Minecraft are the 3 best examples of PC gaming at the moment and they're the ones I tell my friends/prospective gamers about before any others. I would include Half-Life 2, but The Orange Box went to consoles. STALKER looks amazing in some areas and butt-ugly in others. The amazing parts come form a lot of the particle and post-processing effects, weather effects and some very cool DirectX 11 features in STALKER: Call of Pripyat like water-logged clothing or objects when it rains. However, it looks really ugly when you only look at the people and creatures as texture, model & animation quality are rather poor. Still, for the kind of game it is and the size of the studio behind it, it's a very big accomplishment in my eyes. The stories of the STALKER games are also quite intriguing and unique, but perhaps nothing overly original. Before Crysis, however, nothing of that graphical capability had ever been made into a commercial game. It was a technological landmark if nothing else. It's development also created the technology we now know as Screen Space Ambient Occlusion, or SSAO, used in countless games since then. I believe OA even uses it on the higher post-processing settings. In every other aspect, Crysis was "okay". -
Rein: PC gaming has "shot by" consoles
Zipper5 replied to pendragonuk's topic in OFFTOPIC - Games & Gaming
PC exclusives that have amazed me (to varying degrees, and not including BIS games as they are a given): The STALKER series - despite the shortcomings, especially Clear Sky, they are some of the most atmospheric games I've ever played. The Crysis series - mainly the step up in graphics that amazed me here, but Crysis: Warhead had a fun story and Crysis: Wars was enjoyable MP, even if it got old after a while. I couldn't really care less about Crysis 2. As Cole would rightly put it, it's nothing but console popamole bullshit. Minecraft - simple concept that turned amazing. 'nuff said. Total War: SHOGUN 2 - the first RTS I've actually had fun playing since the original Red Alert and Tiberian Sun. Project Zomboid - showing immense potential and I can't wait to see the finished product. -

I don't think Americans are ever fully happy with their Presidents, or their government in general. :p

Zipper5 replied to pendragonuk's topic in OFFTOPIC - Games & Gaming
There's only one reason any of these people are coming out and saying this now: digital downloads on the PC have proven extremely profitable. Nothing else. If they hadn't, they would still be claiming the PC was dying. -
A type of morale system already exists, but many missions disable it as it can lead to issues if your mission has not compensated for the possibility of units fleeing. allowFleeing fleeing

In a hidden folder located at C:\Users\<account name>\AppData\Local\ArmA 2 -
Open mapdisk.bat, typically located under C:\Users\<your name>\Documents\ArmAWork using Notepad. Then, if you know cmd commands, you can change where it is stored.

Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising Mission Editor HELP!!!!!!
Zipper5 replied to Arvin1989's topic in OFFTOPIC
This forum does not, in any way, support Codemasters' Operation Flashpoint series. Do not open another topic for this here again even if you can't register over there for whatever reason. -
ArmA 2 Free - campaigns not working, signature is wrong...
Zipper5 replied to tango delta's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - TROUBLESHOOTING
If you were to depbo a campaign and stick each mission file into the folder you load missions in the Editor from, then you could play them I'm sure. If a campaign is well-made there should be fail-safes in place for if a variable that's meant to be passed by other missions is not, so they shouldn't break. -
Always research before buying games. The Polish version of ARMA 2 is locked in Polish.

Zipper5 replied to bestrangerdx's topic in ARMA 2 & OA - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Please do not disregard moderator instructions, I believe my post in your other thread was pretty clear. These questions go in this thread. You've created so many of these threads that the forum has even picked you up as a spam bot. You're new here so I'll go easy on you, but this is the last warning. ;) -
Heh, all those boxarts made of GAME 2, ARMA, ARMA 2 and Dragon Rising pictures. As JdB rightly says it's just Chinese game makers being the thieves they apparently are, as first shown to me by their Team Fortress 2 knock-off.

Don't go trying to tell moderators how to do their job now, [DirTyDeeDs]-Ziggy-, let alone publicly. Should you wish to continue this discussion take it to PMs. Now, back on topic please. -
Up until a recent update VBS2 had both PhysX and non-PhysX variants of the vehicles, so they didn't replace RV's physics processing. I believe said update made all vehicles only PhysX.
